Women and Constitutional Change: HERe NI

We need a sympathetic Minister to make that change then.

Regarding local authority funding, during Covid I argued at Belfast City Council that we do not just fund localities. Thankfully, others saw that logic and we funded LGBT groups. I think we funded HERe NI for some work. In addition, Belfast City Council is progressing with the LGBT hub. I think that can inform any sort of constitutional change in the future - that there is an onus on local authorities as well as central government to fund communities of interest. Could Ms Nelson tell us a little bit more about the LGBT hub for Belfast and what stage we are at with that?
